UPDATE: Bruce Bochy, moments before tonight’s first pitch, told a few reporters outside the clubhouse that Cain has a half-inch cut on his index finger and will make his next start. Bochy heard from trainer Dave Groeschner, and Groeschner told him, “It’ll close up in a couple days, and he should be fine.”

How did Cain get hurt?

“In the kitchen, he had a knife in his hand, from what I understand, and dropped it. He went to grab it again and cut himself,” Bochy said.
